Standalone Build problems

[richardpenner]

I have a build machine that uses the Standalone Build module to build an installation I've designed in InstallShield 11.5. When I build the installation, I receive about 20 errors similar to the following:

ISDEV : error -6645: C:\WINNT\system32\kernel32.dll

I do not receive these errors in InstallShield, only on the standalone build machine. If I remove the "-x" (stop on error) option, which I prefer to include, it will end up building the installation, although that installation appears to have problems. The build machine is a Windows 2000 SP4 machine with all of the Windows Updates installed, as well as the MS .NET Framework 2.0. Is this a known issue with the Standalone Build installation? I have seen this error in other areas of the newsgroup, and it has thus far gone unanswered.

As well, my installation of the Standalone Build did not include setupPreReq.exe, I had to copy it from the InstallShield Pro 11.5 machine. This problem has also been posted in the newsgroup before.

Is there a service pack or patch for these problems? Any known workarounds? Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

If you set your components .NET Scan at Build property to "Properties" rather than "Dependencies and Properties," it solves this problem. You can also set it to None if you are not adding your assemblies to the GAC.

I have the same problem in that my install will build from IS 10.5 but when I try to use the standalone in my build script i get the following errors
Note I have gone thru all the files and set the .Net can at build to NONE - without any luck.
